Bill Nighy

Beloved British star Bill Nighy wasn’t sure about starting up a podcast: “I don’t actually have anything of great import to say.” In this hilarious Father’s Day edition, though, it turns out Nighy is a fantastic agony uncle, giving our vendors warm and witty answers to life’s big questions.

What did he learn while filming the iconic rom-com Love Actually? Is it okay to wear shorts all year long, weather be damned? And what are his thoughts on Bill Nye the Science Guy? Nothing’s off limits, in an exclusive Q&A that gets delightfully off topic.

More highlights in this edition:

  • Leigh Sales shares her own Australian Story, in a Letter to My Younger Self
  • The macho men and kid jockeys of Mongolia’s Naadam games
  • Come fly with Claudia Karvan, star and producer of new series The Airport Chaplain
  • And Nornie Bero recreates her Dad’s Corned Beef Soup. Read the full recipe here.
